I'm a minister and a sexologist. Yes, those words do go together! I am also the executive director of the Religious Institute (www.religiousinstitute.org), a multifaith organization dedicated to sexual health and justice. I hope you'll join me in exploring the connection between sexuality, religion and spirituality, and the need for sexual justice in our faith communities and society.

Please Ask Your Religious Leader to Endorse the Open Letter to Religious Leaders on Abortion as a Moral Decision

Abortion will be back on the front pages during the confirmation hearings of Sonia Sotomayor. Reducing the need for abortion is a goal of the Obama administration.

The Religious Institute wants to be sure that policy makers understand that abortion is a moral decision, and that the moral agency of women must be upheld.

We hope that if you are a member of the clergy, a theologian, or a religious educator , you will add your name to the more than 800 religious leaders who have endorsed the Religious Institute' Open Letter on Abortion As A Moral Decision.

Follow the link at the top of the page to read the Open Letter and add your name. If you are not a religious leader, but belong to a faith community that supports reproductive justice, please pass this link on to your clergy person.

Our voices will make a difference in the months ahead; join us in speaking out for the moral agency of women.
